I respectfully disagree. Air dash is a beast at popping the qurio spots, and utilizing the morphing slash instead of the basic axe chop in the air is far more optimal. You connect with the basic sword slash as you're descending, and as soon as you hit the ground, you can go right into shield thrust. The phial burst is best used for hitting hard to reach parts of the monsters, or strictly for evasion. I find that the phial burst is only really useful when you have an impact phial charge blade. And finally, like you said in the video, it can trigger wyvern rides more reliably. Maybe it was just me but I found that getting a monster in a wyvern ridable state with charge blade in base Rise was near impossible. That combined with the phial hitboxes and the overall clunkiness of condensed spinning slash, made cb kinda unfun. Sunbreak basically saved charge blade from a fun standpoint. The best part is too, with switch skill swap, you can have both air dash and morphing advance, and they synergize beautifully with each other. Axe hopper reigns supreme though! Sorry for my ramblings, I really enjoyed the video.

i liken air dash to be axe hopper option for spinning axe. It does offer more spinning axe damage than you normally would without it and it can combo up to 6 spinning chops together(one before and after). As i tested it more, the recoil is a life saver from most attacks/combos, and the super armor imo was designed with afflicted status in mind. The only real issue with the move is the angling, while utility was just a minor nitpick. Its suppose to serve a different purpose from morphing advance, kind of a fusion of gap closer and dps move. It was definitely fun to use and i enjoyed testing it.

Air dash hyper armor is very nice. In a pinch, it’s awesome. Plus it’s the best tool to cut tails. You get to pick the upper hits, not be hit, and escape with damage is the cherry on top. Not to mention it’s the quickest way to get rides for charge blade.

1 or 2 Air Dash attacks to non-target enemy, you can wyvern-ride them already. Pretty neat. Usually I use Air Dash to chase for tail when it's high or if you have other high-reach parts you want to break like Scorned Magnamalo's back etc. And I never have the problem of aiming the blast. I mean, just like Axe Hopper, if you know you wouldn't be getting a phial hit, just use the normal attack and don't waste your phial. It's also great against monster that flies a lot like Rathalos. But yeah, if you don't have Stun Resist 3 and high defense, it's better not to rely much on the hyper armor. It's still fun though, tanking the monster's strongest attack instead of just staying away or blocking it. And since we can switch scroll now, you lose nothing when you put Air Dash in one scroll and Morphing Advance in other one. Especially for a build that specializes in Savage Axe style.

I don’t think it is a bad move especially for the anomaly quest monsters where you gain health for hitting the enemy. The problem is that there is not that much potential to optimize the play style for max damage output.

Tbh it doesnt really feel like a charge blade move at all. Super armor isnt a charge blade thing really and the entire move is automated. It definitely has power overall but lacks options.

I think you roasted the wrong move. It should have been harvest moon/backslide

Air Dash is crazy good imo + hitbox from the left + fast recharge + armor during pull up and blast

My main gripe was the phial burst angling. Like wasnt it like every other sba with the angling? Then as i tested it, i just saw the sub 40 css chop ticks on bad hitzones. Super armor and riding damage makes the move good enough to use, but i value utility too much, so ill just stick with morphing advance.

As a solid CB main of 7 years I disagree.

But but...air dash only existed for a few months...

I've never tried this move, but it looks to be just like Great Sword's Hunting Edge. A worthless move they made just to fill a switch skill slot.

Thats a pretty accurate comparison. More accurate than mine tbh. I thought it was discount soaring wyvern slash, but for charge blade.

Read the comments. Then try it for yourself. Get your spinning axe up first for more damage. You will definitely change your mind.

Ah. Sorry about that. i just place too much value on morphing advance, so i have some degree of bias.

Justified for sure. Never liked air dash that much even if it's good with spin axe

Based on other people's comments, air dash split charge blade users into two camps: they love it or see it as pointless. Both sides have their arguments, but im in the latter camp.
